The dangers in loving you

For a moment Venom felt her spirits lift as the sound of heavy footfalls was heard behind her. Bright purple and pink eyes widened in disbelief as she turned her tiny frame to catch sight of her father. A grin had almost worked itself over her features before she took in the fanged form of Sirius. The emotion faded quickly as she was plunged back into despair. Her father was dead. She looked down at the ground, and almost didn’t answer the Vessel as he pointed to the sigil that she had created. It was reminiscent of a viper, and her father had been especially proud of it and her. Tears welled up in her eyes again.

”It’s my sigil.” She sniffed, her voice devoid of emotion despite the loss that weighed heavily upon her. Why had god seen fit to take her daddy from her? She would never be able to snuggle up against him and mom in the den, to breathe in his musky scent and bask in his benevolent presence. ”I have another one.. that I shared with Dad.” She sniffled again and couldn’t hold back her tears anymore.

Venom shifted so he might bury her face into Sirius’s heavy arm. The tears fell freely as she accepted her loss and the pain that came so readily with it. She just wanted her dad back.
